Jude Law Apologizes for Straying

The British It girl has received a public apology from fiancé Jude Law, who admitted to having an affair with a nanny after reports of his infidelity surfaced in several tabloids.

"Following the reports in today's papers, I just want to say I am deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna and the people most close to us," Law said in a statement released Monday to the British Press Association. "I want to publicly apologize to Sienna and our respective families for the pain that I have caused.

"There is no defense for my actions, which I sincerely regret, and I ask that you respect our privacy at this very difficult time."

Law confessed to bedding 26-year-old Daisy Wright, the caregiver to one of his children. Wright was hired by his ex-wife, Sadie Frost. Law met Wright in New Orleans earlier this year when he was filming All the King's Men.

Though Law beseeched the public for privacy in the matter, Wright has no such hang-ups about her steamy encounter with the Cold Mountain star.

"It was amazing," Wright told London's Sunday Mirror of her mattress romp with Law. "Jude was a masterful lover who made my whole body tingle."

The nanny told the Sunday Mirror that her connection with Law began after the two attended a Robert Plant concert along with Law's child.

When they returned home after the concert, they shared some wine and...

"The next thing I knew, he was kissing me--it was amazing. He felt so lovely. We kissed and kissed for what seemed like ages. I was thinking, I cannot believe this. Jude Law is snogging me," Wright told the paper.

"The next thing I know, we are dragging each other upstairs to his bedroom, kissing and then, in the bedroom, ripping off each other's clothes."

After a wild night of sex, the two were discovered in bed by one of Law's children, Wright said.

"The next thing I knew, I heard the door open and the child was looking at me in bed. I was probably still drunk and opened one eye. I just thought, I am not going to wake up, I am not going to move. I just lay there," Wright said.

According to published reports, Wright, who had served as weekend nanny to eight-year-old Rafferty, four-year-old Iris and two-year-old Rudy since last August, was recently let go from the position after Frost decided she needed someone older to care for her children.

Miller, 23, has made no public comment about her fiancé's admission. On Monday, she arrived at a theater in London's West End looking "grim faced" before taking the stage in a production of As You Like It, a British television station reported.

The actress reportedly did not appear to be wearing her engagement ring.

Friends say the couple are "working through" their problems, according to BBC News.

Law and Miller met on the set of 2004's Alfie, in which he played the title Lothario and she played one of his many conquests.

They got engaged on Christmas Day 2004, after Law popped the question with a diamond cluster ring reportedly worth $35,000.

At the time, Miller told London's Evening Standard she wanted to wed "as soon as possible."

But in February, she told reporters she was in no rush to walk down the aisle.

"I'm not going to get married this year," she said. "There's no rush, we're just happy to be engaged."

Now there's no telling if the pair will ever make it to the altar.

Law's marriage to Frost ended in October 2003. Frost was granted a quickie divorce after citing Law's "unreasonable behavior."
